A Practical Farmer.

Edward Kavenaugh, one of the prac-
teal farmers of Odessa township, was in
the city yesterday and gave the INTER-
OCEAN some interesting pointers on ag-
ricultural matters. Mr.. Kavenaugh
says he is no hurry about seeding. His
theory is that if the seed is put into the
ground too early, as many farmers did
last year, 1t becomes chilled and will
not grow. The ground must be warm
if you would have all the seed sprout
evenly, and thus the crop ripens evenly
and the straw is the same length. Mr..
Kavenaugh is a successful raiser of what
is known as the Canada pea, which he
says is far superior to corn for %fattening
hogs. Peas will 90 from thirty or forty
bushels to the acre. They require no
cultivation and are certain death to all
kinds of weeds except the noxious this
tie. They arc cut and stacked the same
as hay and are fed to hogs from the stack ;
Mr.. Porker will do the threshing him
self, and do it cleaner than any machine.
He will also get very fat on the Job, and
his flesh is hard and firm. Dakota
farmers, Mr.. Kavenaugh thinks, must
learn a great doal about the preparation
of ground before they make much of a
success of agriculture.

A D oyeloped1a.

A cyclopedia which presents eonci, ,e
and readable biographical sketches to.
gether with choice and characteristic Sc
lections from the writings of eminent
authors of all ages and nations, surely
ought to be in great popular demand If
its costs were not %prohibitory. Such q
work is Alden's Cyclopedia Of Universal
Literature. Volume vi. OF which, now
published, contains 40 pages, largetype,
beautifully printed and bound, and in
cludes within it the names of e~ighty-two
eminent authors, among which are:
Dana, Dante, Darwin, Daudet, Jefferson
Davis, Sir Humphrey Davy, DeFoe (of
Robinson Crusoe fame), De~mosthenes,
DeQuincey, Deseartes, Dickens, Disraeli,
Doddridge and Douglas. 1t would seem
hardly possible to plan any literary work
moro eminently readable and interesting,
if the compiling and editing are we'll
done-and the nearly universal verdict
seems to be that this is very well done
indeed. And the price! Only Tho Lit
erary Revolution could have accom-
plished such a wonder-5Oc cents a volume
for these beautiful cloth-bound books, or
60 cents for half-Morocco binding! The
publisher offers a sample volume to any
one with privilege of return if not salts
factory. Anyone interested in high class
literature ought to send for Mr.. Alden's
GA page catalogue of standard books,
which is free to any applicant. Address

One on Conductor Alexander.
Grand Forks Herald.

Among the popular employees of the
Manitoba, none is more generally priced
than Walter Alexander, of the con-
ductors, and in incident happened on his
train Yesterday which all will relish at
his expense. A granger got on the train
at DEVILS Lake, and when the conductor
passed through the car, tho willy son OF
toll had urgent business elsewhere, so he
eluded Walter. Tho train soon stopped
at Grand Harbor, and the "poor but hon
est settler" got off. So did Alexander,
and demanded pay. But the granger re-
piled that the m%onopolies had taken the
last nickle, and he couldn't pay. With
a roughish twinkle in his eye, the con-
ductor said: "Get on again; I'll give
you a further free ride" The innocent
farmer yielded reluctantly. The con-
ductor was laughing coyertly to think
how he would plant the hard-fisted son
of toll six miles off OH the prairie and
make him walk to pay for his ride. So
when they had gone about that distance,
the train was stopped and the granger
bounced. What was Alexander's dis
comtiture when tho willy settler replied
with sauvity: "Tm much obliged to
you; I live right here"

The Fearless Editor.

SOuAltA D DUhOlNQs
A fearless editor may offend and lose
n subscriber, but if he be right he will
gain five; he may lose one advertiser,
but if he be right he will gain two there
by; if he labor not to please anyone, he
will please no II and have no real
friends; if he tries to ride all the horses
in town and country he will have to plod
on foot all his life; if lie tears down his
neighbours house to build one for him.
self he will have an uninhabitable shanty
whom it is finished.
The man whom the editor should labor
most to please is himself; then, with an
earnest desire and purpose to be right,
backed by ability, zeal, industry, and no
such word in his vocabulary as fear, he
will have Il greater following and better
support, even though he be wrong half
the time, than he who endeavors to trim
his sails to every changing breeze, and
without chart, comnass, principle or pur-
pose, drifts aimlessly in and out, with
every shifting tide.

Although the past winter has been the
severest ever known In the Mouse river
valley, none of our ranchmen have sus.
tanned any serious losses except in one
or two cases where stock was driven in
late in the fall from other sections and
arrived here in such a demoralized con-
diton that they could not have been win
tered successfully any where on earth.
Except in the rare cases mentioned each
ranchman in the valley has the most
favorable report to make of his stock.
All the stock in this section is in excel
lent condition and look as sleek and
plump as though they had ranged on
green grass all winter.

Sparks Policy.
Chicago News,

CnlcaSO news.
Commissioner Sparks is issuing pat
ents to settlers on the public lands at
the rate of 12O a week. He will not
issue M till he has satisfied himself that
1t IS not, as he says, "vitiated by fraud"
In other words, he assumes that all who
attempt to settle on the public lands are
thieves and swindlers, and requires them
to prove that they are not before he will
give them a title. A man is guilty in
the eyes of the commissioner till he is
proved innocent. Yesterday there were
36,507 guilty persons waiting for the
land Office. to act upon their claims
under the homestead and pre.emption
laws.
